Tik-TakBow

Another Sunday, another race. Our third run at UPD was a good one; pretty organized and well-facilitated. Hats off to UP JPIA! You guys did well. :)

Unlike the usual distances, this race had even numbered intervals: 2k, 6k, and 18k. The path was good and there were people with markers in various places. There was an adequate amount of water, and the technology they had at the finish line was pretty impressive. Three different lanes for the three race categories, and added refreshment bonuses to boot. Good race, good race.

I wonder, is the program they use on the computer to time people downloadable? That would be pretty awesome if were. Any ideas?

Up next, the La Salle Run happening at The Fort. Looks like I'll be skipping this one, as my body cannot handle the abuse at the moment. I have so much to do and I can't afford to sleep my Sunday off right now. I really want to join though, but I must, must, must control myself. There will always be other races, yes? So now I have more time to train. Or procrastinate. :p

BTW, has anybody heard about the earthquake prediction on the 18th? My mom (or was it my brother?) told me that this Brazilian (I think) dude who predicted 9/11 and the Thailand Tsunami also sees the Philippines going into some massive shakefest next Friday. The thought just turns my bones to mush. Hopefully that isn't true.

So there, a bit of up news and down news for perfect balance. Cheerio(s)!

Too Little, Too Late

So I haven't been training. I haven't been running much either. God, I really need some solid motivation. I have all these ideal scenarios in my head, but sooner or later laziness and procrastination come lurking, bite me in the ass, and leave me for dead. What to do, what to do?

Speaking of procrastination (nasty critter that it is), I have yet to sign up for the Tik-Takbo run. I didn't bother reading between the lines, so I missed out on the fact that reg is only from 6-9am until tomorrow morning. WHOOPS. I'm most definitely dealing with that tomorrow.

In other things, I want a bike. My dad lent me his racer but I think it's too big, and I have yet to have it tuned up. Monix, I'm jealous! I want a sixto of my oooown :( Except I'll name him Mr. Bike because I'm creative and original like that. Mahahahaaaa

Enough of that, I'm off to bed.
